Gymkhana Eight

Ken Block’s tire shredding awesomeness known as Gymkhana needs no introduction. The city of Dubai seems to have been shut down solely for the purpose of filming the 650 horsepower Ford Fiesta RX43 that goes 0-60 in 1.8 seconds!!!

The film is pure gymkhana and hits all the right buttons, there are supercars, exotic driving locations, cool stunts, and downright awesome cinematography. There’s also a ton of ford product placement, but we don’t mind.

Chad burst from the womb wearing a racing suit and a helmet. Chad's passion for cars is in his very DNA. His father was a gear head and passed on the tradition through owning such classics as a '66 Mustang and a '59 Corvette all while taking him to various race tracks in the area. Chad likes to wrench on his rides whenever possible, forgoing the stealership. Chad is an avid motorsports fan with particular interest in endurance/sports car racing. When not online writing for Shifting Lanes, you can find him working at the local golf course teaching people how to swing or hooning a golf cart at impossible speeds.
